Best GPU Under €450 (2026) — Netherlands

€450 is where 1080p gaming stops being a compromise — expect high framerates at max settings in most titles, plus enough headroom to step up to 1440p in lighter games. This tier also starts to open up VRAM options that matter for texture-heavy modern titles.

Ideal for 1080p high-refresh-rate gaming (144Hz+) and as an entry point into 1440p for less demanding titles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a €450 GPU good enough for 1440p?

For less demanding or older titles, yes — expect to dial back settings in the newest AAA releases. If 1440p at max settings is the goal, the €600 tier is a safer target.

What VRAM should I look for at €450?

8GB is the practical minimum for modern titles at this tier; 12GB+ options (when available under €450) age noticeably better as games' texture budgets grow.
